Lucky

Select format

Ever since Martel Heller rolled his first dreadlock, his love life has been blessed. For seven years he’s had the luxury of cherry-picking the hottest men available. But when the dress code at his new job forces him to hack off his lucky locks, his good fortune comes to an end.

To make matters worse, if Martel shows up at the company Christmas party alone, his creepy coworker Phil will know he’s single. As a last resort, Martel enlists his best friend, Felix, a fashion photographer, to hook him up with a model. Then plans fall through, and Martel ends up stuck at the Christmas party with the last person he expects—but as the hours pass, he wonders if he's finally learned what it means to be lucky.

I've been trying to write an eloquent, informative review of this wonderful story but I keep coming back to just squeaky delight and can't find the right words. Lucky is adorable, charming, funny, and I love the characters to little bits. If you're looking for a story to make your heart feel so melty you dissolve into 'aww!'s one minute and leave you giggling uncontrollably the next, I absolutely recommend Lucky. It doesn't feel like a short story, it's just right.

Martel has always considered his dreads to be lucky and his source for getting any guy he wants. Then he has to cut them for work and he thinks everything is going wrong. But when Felix \"rescues\" him by coming to the office party with him Martel may find out that this might be the start of a whole different kind of lucky.

I absolutely loved reading this! One of my definite favorites from Dreamspinner.
Lucky has all the ingredients of a truly heatwarming story: interesting, engaging characters that you find yourself caring about (even if this is just a novella and not a full-length novel.) The premise is a lot of fun and the story from beginning to end is well-constructed with a nice flow.
Sometimes romance stories can be a little heavy on the fluff but Lucky has the balance just right. It's a light, fun read but manages to tug your heart-strings just enough to make you smile like a loon by the end of it!
Now if only there were more of this story, but the author's other titles are probably a safe bet if you want quality writing. Highly recommended!
